At my primary job; we have the ability to work from home. In my particular job, we can't actually work from home, but we can access our computer at work from home and catch up on emails, finish any projects we may be doing, etc. I help answer the Web emails from clients and while I've been off for the Holidays; I find myself checking the inbox and replying to their questions/problems.
I'm a semi-workaholic and a semi-perfectionist. I just don't like the idea of a client locked out our Web site for a long period of time and since it's the Holidays, they would have to wait 5 days for someone to come in on Monday. I've been checking the inbox and answering what I can and just trying to keep it down so that when my coworkers come in on Monday, they aren't just swamped with work.
Does anyone else have that ability at their employment? If so, do you find yourself working during non-working hours?
PS: And I don't do it because I get paid; because I don't, I just love my job and I enjoy helping people.
